This is a real temptation for next year if the situation allows it!! I have walked Norte from Irún to Gijón in 2013 but didn’t continue. Did visit Praia das Catedrais travelling by car and I agree with David It is truly spectacular! Walking there from Ribadeo would be something to dream about...
Hello everybody, I wonder, reading all the previous posts, none of you find the skirt too short? My Altus goes a little below my knees, it is great. But I would love something really lightweight to cover the lower parts of my legs. All the gaiters I have looked at are too heavy in my opinion...
Hi, I you walk the most beautiful camino of them all, el Camino del Salvador, between Leon and Oviedo you will be able to get a "Salvadorana",
‘Quien va a Santiago y no al Salvador, visita al criado pero no a su Señor’, meaning ‘Those who go to Santiago and not to Salvador (Oviedo), visit the...
Thanks a lot, your lists will be a great help while I continue my planning.
So you have convinced me to do stay in both Monistrol and Sauges, I'll followe your advice. As to the first day or two, when to start and where to stay I haven't made my mind up yet. We'll see, but I am sure I will come...
Thornley,
Monistrol to Saugues would be a very short day, do you recomend that because of the very steep walk from Monistrol? That is, you think that when reaching Saugues my legs will need the rest?
Yes I will be booking meals and accomodation, at least till I reach Conques I suppose, I am...
Thank you Falcon, I looked at the gites Hospitalité chrétienne Pèlerins d'Emmaüs but according to Miam Miam Do Do they are closed week ends when I would arrive. But I will have a look at the other gites you suggested in Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaison, it seems nice. I can understand you need...
Thanks to the three of you for taking time to advice on this. I am starting to realize that I need to think this over properly, I am not the fittest of pilgrims and I have time enough for this Camino so no need to hurry. I would very much like to start the steep walk up to Saugues early in the...
Yes it does look very steep........but I thought since I booked ahead there is no need for hurry and I could take my time. But I'll think about it, and it's good to know there will be something in between in case I don't make it. I might try to start earlier as well. If pilgrim mass is finished...
Hi everybody,
I'm planning for my next camino starting May 9 from Le Puy and I am still not sure about how to get there. I think from the airport in Lyon with the Rhone express to Lyon Gare Port Dieu and from there a train to St Etienne arriving around 19.30 May 8. And then by bus? Or? Please...
I guess if your children are used to walking and hiking like you describe you could all enjoy this camino in good weather, especially since you plan on shorter stages. As parents you know what your children can cope with and what they would enjoy doing. But I insist I would not take a child to...
Sorry, but personally I think I would not go with a child, the path is really tricky in some parts, the weather is unpredictable and it's a really hard walk so I can't really see an 8 year old coping with those mountains.

Hi everybody,
Just want to tell you all that I walked the camino del Salvador starting March 26 and I think this is the greatest camino ever. I already walked the French, the Portuguese, the Primitivo and the Aragonés but Camino del Salvador beats everything. I went with a friend who had knee...
